Default Interior cleaning Q's

What products do you guys use or is there available to clean the leather inside a s2000. Note that I can not stand any products that make the car oily and slippery (i.e. armour all, and garbage like that). I want to clean my seats and have them just exactly the way they are, just like factory without any slippage. I do autocross the car and I cant afford to be slipping around in my seat. That and the high gloss those products leave are tacky. Also need a product to clean the dash (but same rules apply).

Any suggestions on a premium leather cleaner for a s2000 which wont be slippery and looking like it was dosed in armour all

for leather:
lexol or townsends

(you need a cleaner and a separate preservative)

for vinyl:
vinylex, 303, or raggtopp

Im not too happy with vinylex, at least from the images on their site, still leaves that really ugly glossy wet look that armour all leaves. I want it to look just the way it is now, nice and suttle, no gloss, just looks natural.

most high end leather products are separate (cleaner from preservative)...

vinylex is my first choice- several guys here prefer 303. either will cause shine if you want it or will be matte if thats your preference. depends on how you apply (several coats and let them sit for shine- fewer coats and apply and remove immediately for matte). neither will clog or damage the vinyl.
